- Hypocricy of an "inclusive" liberal minded team regarding debilitating migraines. My friend is a developer at FAANG (not Amazon). Almost half of her team are liberal minded women, which was one of the reasons she liked the team in the first place. The entire team is constantly participating in diversity events, doing talks for BHM and talking about LGBT and women in tech. They se
- First PIP I've been really happy working at my company, but this week I got a PIP. It's not undeserved. I haven't been giving it anywhere near my all. I'd say more like 60-70%.
